Can you make boating purchases with an ATM or a Credit Card?
And if so which is better?
I'm hoping for a 300-post thread here. Don't let me down. |

If the boat only cost a few hundred dollars, it might be cheaper to use the ATM. Thanks for thinking up such an interesting topic. I was beginning to think you had nothing of value contribute. |

He gave me a funny look, like, "Are you bull****ting me?" Then he said he had to make a phone call. He came back and said I could put only $10,000 on VISA at one time - rules of his accounting firm (?). OK, so I said I'd put up $10,000 as a down payment, and then pay off the boat when it came in. He said that would work. Then, when the boat came in, I put another $10,000 on my VISA. Because of the rewards program, I got 3% of the $20,000 back. The dealer wasn't thrilled. I pulled a similar deal when I bought my 5th wheel trailer. The credit, for the month or so of each charge, was free! |

Nah, He's already proven to have boating subjects. But I can't see why you can't use a credit card for any purchase. You get cash redeemable points on most credit cards |

Yes, you got your points and the dealer took it in the shorts because it cost 'em another 3% to run your card. Don't think that'll end up driving up prices? Think again. But I know that all you're concerned about it you. Just like Walmart shoppers who hate China because they're communists but love saving money buying cheap ****. Never mind it'll cost their local grocer and variety store their livelihood and force wages down in the community, those folks who work for Walmart can all visit the emergency room for the health care services they can no longer afford. Short sighted conservatives are always a good laugh. |

No, I don't feel guilty for making you and Loogy pay for my credit. |

Oh, and I'm sure you have one, or maybe even several cards. And obviously being the successful business owner that you are, you use them quite regularly, and I bet they have more an a $2000.00 limit on them. |

Not only do I have two affinity cards, I have a card reader at my business for large companies that whose employees want to purchase incidental gear and services on a company issued card. One of my customers recently put nearly $20K on a personal Visa and I passed along the fee. They may have gotten the miles but they also paid nearly $400 for the priviledge of using the card. I'm not a retail business, so having the card reader is just a convenience for a few customers a year. Doesn't do anything to increase my business. I try not to make gigantic purchases through the card because I know what that does to my vendor's margin and, eventually, it'll be passed along in the form of higher prices. |

It seems that "one shot cures all' === Way to big for concealed carry but OK for store/shop/home defense. I know some guys who do target practice/competition with 45s but it gets pricey if you shoot a lot unless you are a reloader. Personally I prefer a 22 for target practice. You can shoot one all afternoon for five or ten bucks worth of ammo, and a with a lot less pain and strain that a 45/9mm/40/38/357 etc. |

It depends on the price of the boat. If the boat only cost a few hundred dollars, it might be cheaper to use the ATM. Thanks for thinking up such an interesting topic. I was beginning to think you had nothing of value contribute. Nah, He's already proven to have boating subjects. But I can't see why you can't use a credit card for any purchase.

You really need to think that through because no one gun is ideal for more than one category. The P226 is. Small enough to carry, sizeable enough for home defense, and with the .22 conversion kit, cheap enough for target practice. The big question would be which conversion kit to buy. "...SIG SAUER X-CHANGE Kit™ is the perfect accessory for your SIG SAUER Classic .22 rimfire pistols. Now shooters can add SIG SAUER centerfire performance with just the change out of the slide assembly, barrel, recoil system, and magazine to any of the standard production pistol calibers; 9mm, .40 S&W, and .357SIG. Exchanging components does not alter the reliability or accuracy of either assembly." |

For me the first round would probably go into a wall, the second in the guy's hand, and maybe the third in his chest. Hell, I might as well be using cheap 9mm ammo to do that with! |
